 I knew this guy when he played. He's going to be a manager one day in the big leagues. He's the manager for the 888 team in Scranton-Wilkesbury. And that is Shelly Duncan. And we want to talk to Shelly, get an in-depth scouting report on what we're going to get from Everson Pereira. And Shelly joins us now. Shelly, it's Michael and Peter. How you doing, my friend? I'm doing outstanding. How are you doing, Michael? I'm doing very, very well. Missing in your face. Hopefully, we'll see each other soon. And tell me about Everson Pereira. What's he good at? One of the things he has to work on. What are the Yankees getting with Pereira? Everson Pereira made a huge impression in his first game up here in AAA. He was his first at-bat, big at-bat, long 3-2 count, fouled off a bunch of pitches, runners in scoring position, got a fastball late net at bat, and drove a homer to the right center field. And from that moment on, watching him make an adjustment mid-at-bat, deepening up the contact zone, that was a big way to get that right there. So he set the bar extremely high for me. He's everything that a club needs to throw in the middle lineup, make that lineup longer. And it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun being able to put him in the 2-3 hole for me, for our team, and watching him have some success down here and then be able to send him up to New York. All right, so Shelly, how do you think his skills translate to this level? Is he going to struggle at first or do you think that they translate well? He does translate well. And I think the biggest reason is his adaptability. He's going to learn quickly up there what he needs to do to have success. He's going to learn quickly how to game plan against those pitchers, what they're doing to him, what he needs to do. His swing, he's able to hit anything. He can hit guys with a ride. He can hit guys with a sink and run. He can hit breaking balls when he needs to. He can have good two strike at bats. He's adaptable. He's got everything that you need in the hitter to have success. I think it's unfair to jump up and say the guy's going to have immediate success right away because usually with young guys, there isn't any transition phase. And a lot of that is that mental side of things, getting comfortable with the team, the environment, the atmosphere. When things really start to slow down, you start to see the best version of these guys. I'm sure he's playing with a lot of emotions right now, which is fun, probably going to bring out the best in him. But when he gets into a group, I think that's when we're really going to see the best version of Everson Greer. And I expect great things from this guy. He's a lot of fun to watch. All right, let's talk about Paraza. Obviously, we saw him last year. He started two games in the ALCS. Obviously, he's an outstanding fielder. How about his offense, Shelly? What did you see from him? He's been making some swing changes down here. He wants to do some things with a swing, where things get inside, some ball is a lot better, get into his backside better, drive it to right center, be able to have that all-fields power. And he's been putting in a lot of work with Trevor Amacone down here, and maybe doing some really good things. So over the course of the season, during his time down here, seen a lot of growth in this guy offensively. On the bases, man, he's fast. He can steal. He can do everything you need there. Defensively, he's like a human highlight reel. That's second, short, and third. His leadership skills have improved from day one. He's been more active with our team. His baseball instinct has improved. And for everything that a player goes through when it goes up and down, you can sometimes expect guys not to handle it too well. Use handle like a pro, and he's been driven from the moment he came down here, and he's wanted to make himself better. He's wanted to make himself a player that never did regular, and he's another guy. I've seen the same thing about Everson, but he's another guy that I've had a lot of fun watching him develop down here, and it's been a pleasure putting him in the line up as well. So I was Shelley Duncan, the manager of the AAA Yankees affiliate in Scranton. I'm sorry, Peter. No, no, thank you. Shelley gotta ask you, though. Speaking of people you've gotten to see develop a lot, someone you've only gotten to see for a moment, but made quite an impression, Jason Dominguez. Tell us what you saw yesterday. Oh, man, three hits right out of the get-go. This guy's exciting. The moment he walked in the clubhouse, he brought some energy. A huge smile on his face, everybody was excited to see him out there, threw him out in the center field batting second, and his first two batches, he swung the first pitch, it rocked his right at the second baseman. The third of bat smokes the line off the wall, and it seemed like that's when it started. We just kind of tasted this guy, and just watching him out there, the energy he brings, the talent he has, it's a very another, another promising guy that, you know, is a, we're happy to have down here. And shoot, I can't tell you how excited we are. All right, before I let you go, another guy that Aaron Boone said yesterday is on the radar is Austin Wells. What do you see from Wells? Everybody that I talked to, Shelley, tells me he can hit right now in the big leagues, defense of work in progress. So you see him every day. What's your take? You've got, you've got big league capability to play behind the plate, and to be a good offensive hitter. I think consistency is the number one thing, Michael, especially when you have a guy behind the plate, you gotta be fouled in every single pitch of the game, game after game after game. And that's one of the, I think it's one of the hardest things to develop for a young, young player. And that's where we're at. We show splashes, but it's not there every single pitch, but I can tell you that it's getting better. And he is close. He's right on the doorstep. He threw out of the run last night, had a great game behind the plate. He'll have one, you know, bad game here there, but he's going right back at it again. And those, those bad games are very, they're starting to get more rare and rare. And I'm excited about his development. He is right on the doorstep and, you know, going his way, you can't expect him to be up there. And when he gets up there, I'm going to be happy for him to get his feet right up there and get comfortable and, you know, catch those pitchers, you know, get some comfort at the plate. And he's a, he's another guy that really had the presence in a lineup as well. Shelly, I know you've got a busy day and you carved out some time for us. Thank you so much for joining us and giving us some intel on the youngsters that the Yankees are seeing right now. All right, thank you, Michael. You got it. That's Shelly Duncan, the Yankees AAA manager at Scranton, Wilkes-Barre.
